The criminal justice system is supposed to be blind to race, ethnicity and class. And yet the headlines are full of examples of uneven and unfair outcomes. After a dozen years as a public defender, Angela J. Davis argues that American prosecutors are part of the problem, pursuing convictions at the expense of justice. She joins Kojo to discuss the power of the American prosecutor.
